So I decided to be a little funky on this secret project.  Just to show how crafty you can be.  I used a black wax on the wood part to darken it up which turned out nicely I might add.  And I re-upholstered the seat with an old shirt I don't wear.  Sorry I liked it for something.  I guess it was this.  LOL  But you never know til you try it.  I think it turned out good.  Hope you like it as much as I do.  Up for sale!
